I haven't but I would. Just never got close enough to see without taking time off work, and that's proven to be difficult lately. I've seen Ozzy probably 10 times or so. Some shows were better than others, of course, but it was always a great time!

Saw him in Nov. It was pretty embarrassing. Zakk was a nightmare to watch too. But at least it was the Ozzfest/Knotfest show where I was able to see Kreator, Testament, Death Angel and Exhumed among others.

I remember seeing Zakk with Ozzy in the early 2000's. I had seen Holmes play the time before that and he was awesome. The kid in me was a bit disappointed because i always associated Zakk with Ozzy. Got to see him the second Ozzy show I went to and I left early. It was just pinch harmonic squealies every song. Annoyed the shit out of me. Since then, he has only gotten sloppier and his tone is garbage now. They also tune too low and the songs drag. The whole train literally has derailed.

Going next Friday the 28th here in Houston. I've got meet and greet with Ozzy for my wife and I before the show and I have meet and greet for myself with Zakk after the show. He's giving me a guitar he plays that night during the show when I see him. He signs it and takes a pic with me. I think I get to bullshit with him for few. Pretty excited about it. I know Ozzy sounds like shit (Saw him twice with Sabbath last year) and Zakk is a shell of what he was from No Rest For the Wicked and No more Tears, which I saw both of those tours, but I'm a huge Ozzy fan and I was a big Zakk fan as well. It's going to be a fun show. One last party with the Madman is the way I'm looking at it. I'm not going in to judge Ozzy's vocals or nitpick how many pinch harmonics Zakk does. I just want to rock out to the music I loved growing up and still love.

x1000!! I grew up listening to Sabbath. I remember the day Randy died. I remember everybody hating Jake because he wasn't Randy. I remember when Zakk joined the band. More importantly, I remember losing my virginity while listening to War Pigs.

There are a lot of bands who are still touring that honestly shouldn't be. But there are fans that are willing to pay to see them, anyway. We all have guilty pleasures...

I saw Ozzy last night and it was way better than expected. Stone Sour did a great job. It would be great if Zakk would tone down the wankery............But that's not gonna happen! The last time I saw Ozzy was when Metallica opened for him in 86/87. I'm Glad I went last night

Everything thing I have seen on you tube of this tour has basically sucked but Given this will be the last time to see Ozzy (assuming he comes to New Zealand) I will go and see him. Haven't seen him since the Ozzmosis tour so long over due. I saw the last Sabbath tour but missed the Dio/sabbath tour and have regretted that so will soo Oz one more time regardless

Watched a few clips... i actually feel bad for Zakk now! Tuned down to sludge and Ozzy barely talking through the songs. Hang it up already! Apparently Zakk was his fifth choice for guitar player. He had Gillis, torme, Jake, and Gus ahead of him. They all saw how boring it would be to play the set so they said screw it.Smart.

Yeah, Brett Kavanaugh got offered the part and said f' it. I'll for SCJ position.

I saw the show in Cleveland just 3 days ago. Ozzy’s voice held up really well though he did lose the melody on Mama I’m coming home. They are de tuned significantly at the point and Zakks tone was not as good as I find his tone to usually be but Ozzy is almost 70.......you have to have reasonable expectations. He was humble, healthy, energetic and very glad to be there. I would go again in a heartbeat.

Dude, that's so cool! You're going to have a great time.

I haven't seen Ozzy since the Blizzard of Ozz tour in 1981 in Houston. I can't make it to this one, so I guess my remaining memories of that show will have to suffice.

I saw Ozzman last night in Chicago, He was really good his voice was strong he was having fun, was on cue and talkative. The drummer that played with Sabbath on the final tour was there and he was ripping it up as usual, he reminds me of Tommy Aldridge. I thought Zakk played pretty well but the sound guys has his guitar buried in the mix and would barely pull his levels up for solos. It was disappointing as I wanted to really hear Zakk burn it up... his tone was muddy and buried in chorus... it didn't cut like standard Marshall mids should, I think they may been tuned 1 full step down or more. Stone Sour's mix was not good as well.

I wanted to hear more Zakk Era songs but Ozzy only played just the really big ones Like Mama I'm coming home, No more Tears and a couple more, I wanted to hear Perry Mason, Mr. Tinkertrain and stuff like that, Zakk played a medley for his solo but Ozzy didn't sing them. He did a few Randy era tunes, Jake era tunes and quite a few Sabbath tunes which I could have done without. Not that I don't like them but he should have played more Zakk era tunes since Zakk was with him and they have the material to fill it but that just my opinion and my biggest complaint.

Overall it was a good show and enjoyable he played about and hour and a half or so, the sound mix was not as good as the Sabbath 2016 tour which was totally awesome, Iommi's tone was biting, crunchy and upfront in the mix as everyone else was well balanced and spot one.

Saw the Houston show this past Friday. Ozzy sounded really good. They were tuned down at least a step. Zakk can still bring the heat. Overall is was a very good show. I'm glad I got to see it. If you get the chance... go.

Saw the Dallas show last wednesday, SO GLAD I went. Ozzy still puts on one hell of a show, Zakk does what Zakk does and killed it, the drummer was solid as hell and entertaining, Blasko, well, he's Blasko, held down the low end great. But Ozzy, starts a little slow, but by the end of the night, he's rocking hard, and kicking ass.

I remember years back when I saw Zakk with Ozzy, I too noticed how many Sabbath songs were played and I really wished they had skipped them all together. Zakk playing Sabbath is just overkill and doesn't do it for me at all. Much prefer Gillis doing Sabbath and I wasn't a huge fan of him either.

I loved Gillis on SOTD. That's one of my all time favorite guitar tones.

My oldest son got a last-minute free ticket to see Ozzy last week in Salt Lake. He went and he enjoyed the show, but he got pretty tired of the guitar solos (he's not a musician). Overall, he was surprised how well Ozzy sounded for his age and mileage.

i know he cancelled remaining 2018 shows to undergo another procedure. haven’t seen the ozzman since 99 i believe. ozzfest...first one with Joe Holmes. no real need to see him again unless Jake comes back? haha
